Helmet system

Abstract

A helmet system that employs an outer shell and a unitary inner shell formed with compatible grooves and ridges respectively. The outer shell is formed with a switch. The outer shell and inner shell are further secured together via magnetic force or a system of springs and levers in conjunction with the switch that allows for a user of the helmet system to seamlessly remove the outer shell through either a set amount of breakaway force or by using the switch.

1. A helmet system, comprising:
 an outer shell configured to interlock to an inner shell and release from said inner shell; 
 said inner shell being unitary; 
 a chinstrap attached to said inner shell; 
 at least one ridge extending from the surface of said inner shell; 
 at least one groove dipping inward within the interior of said outer shell; 
 said at least one ridge configured to fit into said at least one groove; 
 an at least lower magnet lined along the at least one ridge; 
 said at least one lower magnet configured to be stationary in a fixed, mounted position; 
 said outer shell configured to fit over said inner shell; 
 an at least one upper magnet lined along the at least one groove; 
 said at least one upper magnet configured to be variable; 
 at least one arm in communication with said at least one upper magnet, said at least one arm being in communication with a switch; 
 said switch configured to move said at least one arm such that said at least one arm will move said at least one upper magnet so that said at least one upper magnet attracts via polarity and ferromagnetic force to said at least one lower magnet; 
 said switch configured to move said at least one arm such that said at least one arm will move said at least one upper magnet so that the attracting polarity of said at least one upper magnet rotates away from said at least one lower magnet; and 
 said switch located on said outer shell. 
 
     
     
       2. The helmet system of  claim 1 , wherein said inner shell is configured to cover the cranial portion of a head. 
     
     
       3. The helmet system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one upper magnet has notches on the sides of said at least one upper magnet. 
     
     
       4. The helmet system of  claim 3 , wherein said notches are configured to be in communication with said at least one arm. 
     
     
       5. A helmet system, comprising:
 forming an inner shell to fit snuggly onto a head of a user, the inner shell being unitary; 
 attaching a chinstrap to the inner shell; 
 forming the inner shell such that at least one ridge protrudes outward; 
 forming an outer shell to fit over the inner shell, the outer shell having at least one groove depressed inward toward an interior of the outer shell; 
 locking the outer shell to the inner shell via forming the at least one groove to receive the at least one ridge in conjunction with a switch; 
 placing the switch on the outer shell; and 
 placing the switch in communication with the outer shell such that when activated, the switch is configured to lock the outer shell to the inner shell and release the outer shell from the inner shell. 
 
     
     
       6. The helmet system of  claim 5 , further comprising securing an at least one lower magnet to the at least one ridge of the inner shell. 
     
     
       7. The helmet system of  claim 6 , further comprising mounting the at least one lower magnet onto the at least one ridge such that the at least one lower magnet is stationary. 
     
     
       8. The helmet system of  claim 5 , further comprising placing an at least one upper magnet within the at least one groove of the outer shell. 
     
     
       9. The helmet system of  claim 8 , further comprising lining the at least one upper magnet within a ferromagnetic track, the at least one upper magnet configured to be variable. 
     
     
       10. The helmet system of  claim 9 , further comprising forming the at least one upper magnet with notches. 
     
     
       11. The helmet system of  claim 10 , further comprising placing the notches in communication with at least one arm, the at least one arm in communication with the switch. 
     
     
       12. The helmet system of  claim 5 , further comprising rotating the at least one upper magnet by activating the switch. 
     
     
       13. The helmet system of  claim 12 , further comprising interlocking the outer shell with the inner shell when the at least one lower magnet receives the at least one upper magnet that has been rotated such that polarity of the at least one upper magnet is opposite of that of the at least one lower magnet. 
     
     
       14. The helmet system of  claim 12 , further releasing the outer shell from the inner shell when the at least one upper magnet is rotated via the switch such that polarity of the at least one upper magnet is similar to that of the at least one lower magnet. 
     
     
       15. The helmet system of  claim 5 , further comprising releasing the outer shell from the inner shell with an established amount of breakaway force related to set properties of an at least one upper magnet and an at least one lower magnet. 
     
     
       16. The helmet system of  claim 5 , further comprising placing springs into the outer shell such that the springs are in communication with the switch and levers. 
     
     
       17. The helmet system of  claim 16 , further comprising compressing the springs when the switch is activated causing the levers to move. 
     
     
       18. The helmet system of  claim 17 , further comprising widening the at least one groove when the switch is activated.
